Apache Hive 1.2.0, although not a major release, contains significant improvements.

Recently, the Apache Hive community moved to a more frequent, incremental release schedule. So, a little while ago, we covered the Apache Hive 1.0.0 release and explained how it was renamed from 0.14.1 with only minor feature additions since 0.14.0.

Shortly thereafter, Apache Hive 1.1.0 was released (renamed from Apache Hive 0.15.0), which included more significant features—including Hive-on-Spark.
